alpha ventus, Riffgat, Borkum West 2.
And now it’s your project’s turn?
In 2006, we began with the planning of alpha ventus – Germany’s first offshore wind farm. Since then, we’ve grown used to superlatives. Never before had there been a wind farm built so far from the coastline (64 kilometers) or at such a depth (32 meters). What’s more, each turbine had a rated power of five megawatts, which was record-breaking at the time. This milestone helped set the bar for the entire sector. During its planning, building, and operation, new industry standards
were defined, whose relevance is just important today as back then. Everything had to be completely rethought, developed, and perfected. But the following success was worth it. In 2018, alpha ventus is set to generate an incredible two terawatts of energy.
Turning experience into competence.
After alpha ventus began operating in 2010, we were commissioned to take care of the project development of Riffgat, the first commercially operated offshore wind farm in Germany, from start to finish. Thanks to our experience, we were able to complete the project on time, cost-efficiently, and in high quality. And that’s not us saying it, but the jury members of the “German Renewables Award” who awarded us for this project in 2014.
From pioneer to routineer.
Looking back, we’re very proud of all that we have accomplished. This said, we’re still hungry and have never rested on past successes. On the contrary, we still enjoy the thrill of each new challenge and approach every project with a powerful combination of knowledge, precision, and passion. And we still know how important it is to keep one’s balance even in times of change. We look forward to meeting all your project’s needs and goals.
